#8. This could certainly be some sort of dried natural formation--barnacles? sponge? coral polyps? (but then I don't know coral atoll...). I'm going to guess, however, that its more likely a handmade present from your twins that's been lost among the tools on your workbench--a dirty, crusty Rice Krispy treat??

#9. A sad little metal moose, clearly petrified...

#10. Almost certainly a commemorative corkscrew--but who drank the bottles of Cliquot from the gift set?? Sigh...

#12. Training bra for a little metal doll... An iron maiden for the iron maiden??

#13. Petrified guck on purified water bottle cap, now putrefied.

#14. Gilded operculum (front door) of an enormous Australian snail? Nah. It's one of a set, I hope, of metal pasties used by the aforementioned little doll after she'd consumed waaaay too much champagne (of all the veuve!)...
